ABOUT US

Vision

Everyone benefits from good architecture.

Purpose

To demonstrate the value of architecture and support the profession.

The Australian Institute of Architects is the peak body for the architectural profession in Australia, representing close to 14,000 individual members and almost 2000 practice members around the country and abroad.

Established as a national member-based association in 1930, we support members at all stages of their careers, from students and graduates to registered practitioners, from those working in affiliate industries and academia to those who have retired from practice and remain committed to the profession.

Through the delivery of dedicated and tailored continuing professional development, awards and recognition programs to promote best practice outcomes and targeted advocacy to all levels of government on behalf of the profession and consumers, we strive for better, safer and more sustainable communities for all Australians.
